Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a clipping from a newspaper, mounted on a piece of light brown paper, likely for archival or scrapbook purposes. The clipping is from The Boston Gazette, dated February 6, 1976, and appears on a page titled “Third Page”.

The main feature is a large, black-and-white photograph of a 13th-century South Indian (late Chola Period) bronze sculpture. The sculpture depicts three figures seated on a shared pedestal:

• On the left: A multi-armed male deity (identified in the caption as Shiva) in a seated meditative pose, holding symbolic objects.
• On the right: A seated female deity (identified as Parvati) in a similar pose.
• Between them: A smaller, standing child figure (identified as Their Child).

The photograph is credited to Enertia, and the accompanying caption identifies the sculpture and provides context for its display.

Below the photograph, the caption reads:

“Now through March 7, the Fogg is presenting a selection of paintings, sculpture, and other artifacts from the George P. Bickford Collection of Indian and Southeast Asian Art. First seen last year at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the show spans 5000 years of India's artistic heritage, from the third millennium B.C. to our own century. Organized by Stanislaw Czuma, Curator of Indian Art at the Cleveland Museum, the exhibit has been brought to the Fogg with the assistance of John Kenneth Galbraith, Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics Enertia. Above, Shiva, Parvati, and Their Child Stands (copper; South India; late Chola Period, 13th century).”

The surrounding text on the clipping includes several short articles or listings about Boston-area art events, galleries, and exhibitions, such as the Boston Artists Market, the Fogg Art Museum’s Jacques Villon retrospective, the Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Museum of Afro-American History.

Handwritten in black ink on the clipping, near the bottom left, is the note “Crimson Jan.”, possibly indicating the source or date the clipping was noted. The mounted paper has two holes punched on the left edge, suggesting it was kept in a binder.

In summary, this image is an archival newspaper clipping highlighting an exhibition of Indian and Southeast Asian art at the Fogg Art Museum in February 1976, centered around a photograph of a 13th-century bronze sculpture of the Hindu deities Shiva, Parvati, and their child.
